Measuring up!

In our maths this week, first class have been busy measuring the length and width of lots of things around school and at home. We used many different non standard units of measurement like straws, spoons, our span and our stride. We then went on to learn about metres and using using metre sticks, we measured the length and width of many items in school. We also measured and cut a metre string that we brought home to measure the length of lots of things there.
